Greed and hate funds the wars
News feeds off envy and spite
Entices our hearts to the blight:
Fear of Death.
Look! O’er the valley, to the hills,
“Whence cometh” our aid?
Love “cometh” whose song made
The good earth.
Sunshine spills o’er the valley
Chasing away the fear of night
Where darkness fights and frights
Our frail hearts.
Love so great floods the earth,
Subverts the might and proud
That pressed the lowly and bowed
Under foot.
If we but love the neighbor,
The enemy real and we mis-perceive,
Keep the faith to love and leave
Fear behind.
